“Nobody : 
All women: Suuuck in
Ready😀📸,” Williams captioned.

She was wearing a fitted leopard-print dress with a box neckline when she sucked her stomach in and then let it out on video.

Fans showed they were tickled pink in responses to the post.

“Know when to hold & when to fold…😂😂😂😂😂.”

“No lies were told in the making of this video 🤣🤣”

“But the “air” sound killed me!😂😭 💨”

“Transparency and accuracy. I love it! 😍😂”

“And you still look fly either way queen ❤️❤️🔥”

“Instagram VS Reality 🤣 Me af after every lunch lol you look amazing mama❤️❤️❤️”

“Life after kids versus life before 😂😂😂”

“To be a mom it’s all worth it.”

Williams had her first child, 5-month-old daughter Pilar Jhena’ McKinley, with hot dog mogul Dennis McKinley March 22.

Williams initially delayed announcing she was pregnant and even tried to send the media off, but she couldn’t fool fans.

“Girl, you pregnant stop trolling,” one person said on Instagram.

About a month later, she announced she was, in fact, expecting in September of 2018.

“The thought of me getting that blessing after praying for it for so long and getting that blessing with someone who is just as excited as me — it’s Dennis’ first child, just like me — and it’s something we’ve both always wanted. … It’s like a dream come true,” she said in a People magazine spread announcing the news.

McKinley also shared his thoughts with fans in an Instagram post March 22.

“It’s going down! BASEMENT #MEETtheMcKinleys #BabyPJ #MILFSeason #Grateful ❤️🙏🏾” he captioned.

These days, Williams is still spending plenty of time gushing about her newborn.

“❤️ Pilar Jhena‘ Mckinley❤️ #Obsessed#SheLooksLikeHerName@pilarjhena,” Williams captioned on an Instagram post of her baby.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
